When something is linked to libscitbx_boost_python, it is always linked to libboost_python as well, which in turn is linked to libpythonx.y.so. Thus I would argue that dpkg-shlibdeps warnings are irrelevant. I mean, scitbx scripts run fine after compiling with gcc 4.7, don't they? Last time I tried I had no issue. If on the contrary, you get a crash running such a script, then definitively we need to investigate.

Best wishes,
